"Isn’t it strange that the gods would ask humans for help to fight demons? If even the gods are defeated, how can mere humans stand a chance?" Li Jie asked again.
"I understand your question. Except for me, His Majesty at that time eventually asked all the gods to surrender most of their powers to be combined. That power was then divided into two equal parts. Half of it was placed inside your body, and the other half was forged into a sword that now rests atop Mount Semeru," explained Xiao Chen.
"Wait, Grandpa. Did you just say half of the gods’ power was placed inside my body?"
Xiao Chen nodded slowly.
"So I’m the human who has to bear that heavy burden?"
"That’s right, Li Jie. Why did I choose you? It’s because I’ve been watching over you for a long time. I mourned the death of your wife, but there was little I could do. The demons have altered the fate set by the gods. They’ve thrown everyt

A handsome young man with a light brown complexion and a sharp nose had been walking with his head down when he was suddenly startled by a loud shout directed at him."Move aside, loser!" barked a tall, burly young man.He was Yung Fei, the son of the village chief and the heir to a martial arts school. Standing on either side of him, three young men his age grinned wickedly, clearly enjoying what their friend was about to do.Without warning, Yung Fei launched a powerful kick straight into the young man's stomach.Li Jie Soka Witjaksana, the unfortunate recipient of the kick, was sent stumbling several steps backward until he crashed into a vendor’s stall that had been closed for the day. The wooden stall collapsed under his weight, its fragile structure breaking apart from the impact."Pick that loser up! I'm not done with him yet!" Yung Fei ordered.His three friends immediately rushed forward, grabbing Li Jie, who was still curled up on the ground, clutching his stomach in pain.

Some villagers, provoked by the shout, also started running after Li Jie. They joined in the shouting, attracting the attention of other villagers.More than twenty people ran after Li Jie, their spirits blazing with the desire to beat the young man accused of being a thief.Eventually, he was cornered after mistakenly running into a dead-end alley.“Damn! I’m dead!”His body inevitably became a living punching bag for the villagers' anger. Punches and kicks rained down on him without pause. Li Jie’s body, already covered in wounds and bleeding, resigned itself to his fate. He was certain his life would not be spared that day.However, without anyone realizing it, a white figure suddenly darted swiftly and snatched Li Jie’s helpless body, carrying him away from the scene.The people who had been attacking Li Jie were left looking around in confusion, searching for the handsome young man.“Who saved that thief?

"I will tell you later after you finish training and are ready to restore your parents’ good name," said Song Rui.Although disappointment filled his heart because he still didn’t know who had slandered his parents, Li Jie did not make a fuss about it. He thought there were both positive and negative sides to learning the truth later rather than now."Alright, Grandpa. I’m ready to train now. It's better that I don't know about it yet, as it could disrupt my training," the young man replied calmly.Song Rui was slightly surprised by the drastic change in Li Jie's attitude. The once hot-tempered young man had suddenly become so composed."This young man has two contrasting personalities. He will be terrifying if he cannot control himself," he thought."Grandpa, what's wrong?"Song Rui smiled and shook his head slightly. "Li Jie... before I teach you some martial arts techniques, it's best if you listen to my words first," he said, taking a deep breath."Whatever you do, use your common

Li Jie widened his eyes as he unwrapped the long cloth bundle, revealing a sword inside. "Isn't this my father's sword?""You’re right. Grandfather took it from your house after he learned that both of your parents had passed away. Now, go and finish what you must. After that, return here! There is something important I need to tell you before we part ways for good."Li Jie fell silent upon hearing Song Rui’s words. He didn’t want to part with the old man, but there must be something crucial his teacher wanted to tell him, something that made their separation necessary."Meet Mo Yan when you reach the village. He will tell you who framed your parents.""But, Grandfather… won’t he report my presence to the villagers?""Why should you be afraid? Haven't you honed your skills by now? Just tell Qian Li that I sent you to see him," Song Rui replied.Li Jie nodded. Then, he stepped out of the small hut and ran toward the village.By the time night had replaced day, Li Jie had arrived at the
THE GOD'S OF CHOSEN WARRIOR Revenge 2
"Hahahaha... Friends, this brat dares to threaten to kill us? Could it be that getting beaten up by the villagers a year ago made his brain shift out of place?" mocked the guard, his words immediately met with laughter from his companions."He still can't even pee straight, yet he dares to act tough in front of us! Filthy thief's child!" another chimed in."It seems you can't be given any mercy!" Li Jie shouted before swiftly launching his Holy Dragon Palm Strike at one of the guards, striking him squarely in the chest.No one at the scene expected what happened next. The guard who took the hit was thrown backward, crashing into the door of a house. His body convulsed violently before death claimed him."You... How dare you kill my friend!" another guard roared, his sharp gaze locked onto Li Jie, though fear flickered in his eyes. One of his comrades had been killed in a single strike.The young man's body trembled slightly after his unexpected attack found its mark. A strange sensati

Upon arriving in front of the village head Cheng Xi’s house, which also served as a martial arts school, six gate guards immediately drew their swords upon seeing Qian Li arriving with a young man ready to take the life of the wealthy merchant. They knew that Qian Li was the close friend of Cheng Xi, who was also their teacher, and they felt it was their duty to help him."Release Merchant Qian Li if you don't want us to behead you!" one of them shouted.Li Jie smirked cynically at the low-skilled gate guards who dared to threaten him."I'll release this man if you call that despicable village head here!""Watch your mouth, scum! Our master is not worthy of meeting the likes of you!" the guard retorted."That's true... That vile man is not worthy of meeting me. His heart and actions are rotten."The gate guards could not accept the insult from Li Jie. They immediately moved forward, but Li jie pressed the blade he was holding against Qian Li’s neck. Blood trickled from the wealthy mer
THE GOD'S OF CHOSEN WARRIOR Li jie vs Cheng Xi
The wealthy landlord of the village finally met his end on the spot, his head severed from his body.Seeing that Li Jie could effortlessly dodge his father’s attack, Yung Fei immediately lunged at the handsome young man, gripping the sword tightly in his hand. Even though he hadn't seen Li Jie for over a year, Yung Fei still believed that the young man he used to beat up with ease would be just as easy to defeat now.However, his confidence was completely misplaced. Not a single one of his attacks managed to land on Li Jie."There’s something you need to understand, Yung Fei. You’re nothing but a weakling who relies solely on your father’s power. But today, I will make your father suffer by watching you die!" Li Jie parried Yung Fei’s strike with such force that the young man's sword was knocked from his grip.Yung Fei let out a loud cry, clutching his right wrist in pain. Even after losing his sword, the shock still reverberated through his arm. He couldn't believe it—after just one
THE GOD'S OF CHOSEN WARRIOR Retribution Achieved"
Li Jie met the attack with his full strength. He knew that Cheng Xi’s energy was too powerful to face with anything less than his maximum effort.Their swords clashed repeatedly, generating shockwaves that erupted like explosions. Thick smoke filled the battlefield as their relentless strikes collided again and again.The spectators instinctively retreated further, unwilling to risk being caught in the devastating battle. All they could see now was a thick cloud of dust obscuring the two warriors.As the fight dragged on, Cheng Xi began to falter. His internal energy was nearly depleted, weakening his defenses.Suddenly, his body was sent flying out of the smoke. Li Jie had seized the perfect moment to strike, exploiting Cheng Xi’s waning strength. With a precise slash, he severed the old master's right arm.After that, he delivered a powerful kick to Cheng Xi’s chest, sending the man flying several steps away.Cheng Xi closed his eyes, enduring the pain that tormented him.

The Power of the Gods
"I hope I didn’t choose wrong," murmured Xiao Chen.He was aware that the survival of the realm of the Gods depended on his choice. If he chose wrongly, the Demon would surely become unstoppable in ruling the world.The night, usually calm at the mountain peak, passed incredibly slowly. The night creatures around the cave sang joyfully as if welcoming the young man destined to save the world.Their songs filled the air until it was time for them to drift back into sleep.The next morning...Meanwhile, Emperor Liu Zuan’s entourage continued their journey toward the Forest of Darkness, which was not far from where they had set up camp.Nearly an hour passed before they finally reached the edge of the Forest of Darkness. From the outside, no visible destruction could be seen. But once they entered about 300 meters, the devastation became clear.Emperor Liu Zuan and Liu Zixuan, who had stepped ou
“Directive for Xiao Chen”
“If I let you roam this earth, you will only bring suffering to humanity. And your death is the answer!”A light as brilliant as the sun radiated from the blade in Xiao Chen’s hand.“Let’s see if your body can recover or not!”The female demon knew she was facing the second most powerful god after the King of the Gods, but she hadn’t expected that the God of War before her possessed power far beyond hers. The enormous energy emanating from the sword even stilled the winds that usually howled through the sky.“No wonder he’s the God of War—his strength is terrifying,” she murmured.Xiao Chen moved at lightning speed, slashing his sword toward one of the demon’s bodies. But that target narrowly dodged the attack.“You’re lucky to have avoided my sword, accursed demon. But be sure—luck doesn’t strike twice!”Xiao Chen lunged forward again. Suddenly, his body vanished and reappeared between two of the demon’s bodies, leaving them confused and unable to anticipate his attack.With a swift
The Power of the God of War
“Are you sure, my daughter?” asked Emperor Liu Zuan. He understood that his daughter was anxious about Li Jie’s fate.“I don’t know, Father. But my intuition tells me something bad is happening to the prince,” Liu Zixuan softly replied.“In that case, I will send soldiers to investigate.”“I’m coming too, Father!” Liu Zixuan exclaimed. “I know the place.”“Very well, I will come too,” said Emperor Liu Zuan, turning to the soldier in front of him. “Prepare 300 soldiers at once!”“Yes, Your Majesty.” The soldier saluted and then walked out.Meanwhile, at the battlefield between Li Jie and the female demon, severe destruction had occurred from the collision of their immense powers.The thick dust and smoke covering part of the Kegelapan forest slowly dispersed with the gentle breeze.The envoy of the Demon King was flung backward several meters after trying to block the energy sword slash unleashed by Li Jie. His giant body lay sprawled among the fallen trees.The female demon slowly ros
The Demon Envoy woman
Li Jie let out a faint grunt. His breathing was slightly labored as blood interfered with his airway. Twice, the attacks of the invisible demon woman had inflicted deep wounds on him, though they weren’t fatal.Quickly, the young man drew upon his Devil’s Fire energy, channeling it throughout his body to ease the pain tormenting him. He also directed some of the Devil’s Fire into his eyes to help track his opponent’s movements. He refused to become a living punching bag for the demon woman, whose movements were nearly impossible to see.Once the Devil’s Fire reached his eyes, Li Jie saw the woman’s figure vanish once again—just as she was closing in on him. He immediately prepared his Devil’s Fire Dragon Palm Strike, hoping to drive back the demon woman sent to conquer the earth.Li Jie’s palm struck her chest squarely the moment she appeared before him. Yet instead of being injured or pushed back, the demon woman didn’t budge an inch. It was Li Jie who was flung far backward after he
The Demon Envoy Woman
Suddenly, a thought crossed Li Jie’s mind to use the Demon Eagle Machete, which now harbored the Demon Fire Energy.The blade of the sacred machete flared up with large flames. That alone was enough to change the expressions on the eight corpses’ faces. They were shocked to see flames erupting from the Demon Eagle Machete, as they had believed the weapon incapable of producing fire.Moreover, the energy radiating from the machete was far stronger than its original power. That was what caused their startled reactions.“So, you can still be surprised. That means you can still die!” The young man’s lips curled into a cold, mocking smile.Not wanting to waste time, Li Jie infused even more Demon Fire Energy into the long blade.“Don’t be afraid! Let’s fight him with a combined attack!” shouted one of the girls. They then lined up, merging their swords into one formation.“Even better if you unite—so I don’t have to bother slaughtering you one by one!” Li Jie sneered. He didn’t even think

Two girls leapt out of the spinning formation and immediately attacked. Before Li Jie could counterattack, two strikes from his left and right sides posed a serious threat. Quickly, Li Jie stamped his foot firmly on the ground and jumped four meters high to evade.After that, he charged sharply while unleashing a swift attack.“Dragon Claw Splitting the Earth!”Li Jie’s rapid and powerful strike almost hit one of his opponents, but his body was suddenly knocked to the side as a kick landed on his ribs. The young man rolled twice before quickly springing back to his feet.“They seem to know my every move,” Li Jie thought as he attempted another attack. His two fingers, shaped like claws, suddenly burst into flames.However, the eight girls didn’t seem to care about what he was doing. They kept trying to make him surrender, following the orders of the old woman inside the cave. What puzzled Li Jie even more was that even when he used the Flaming Dragon Claw technique, their cold express

Wurya was increasingly shocked by what he saw. Unconsciously, he stepped back several times, though his body was hard to move. It wasn’t just Wurya who was surprised—Li Jie, the wielder of the energy sword, was also astonished. He had never imagined that a sword formed from the Devil’s Fire energy could become that enormous.About half an hour away from the battlefield, an old woman with a pale face suddenly opened her eyes inside a cave. She sensed energy from outside entering the cave where she was meditating.Around the old woman, eight cold, expressionless young women sat cross-legged, forming a circle with their hands joined.Her eyebrows twitched, curious about the powerful energy she was sensing."Go out and find the owner of this energy!" she ordered the eight girls.The eight girls only nodded without saying a word. Their expressions were utterly cold, as if they had no feelings at all.Simultaneously, the eight girls stood up and walked out of the cave."When you find the ow
The Destruction of the Light Sword.
The blood that had been seeping from his pores finally stopped flowing. Li Jie channeled the Devil’s Flame Energy to prevent more blood from escaping. However, despite this effort, he still couldn’t move, as he needed to stay focused on halting the bleeding.The victorious look on Ceng Li’s face began to fade slightly. He could clearly see that the blood had stopped oozing from the body of the handsome young man, whose entire figure was now drenched in blood.Li Jie’s current appearance was truly horrifying. His once-white clothes had turned blood red. Even his face was not spared, covered in fresh blood, making him look like a bloodthirsty creature.Ceng Li’s brow furrowed deeper, his confusion growing by the second. “He should’ve died from blood loss… but why is he still standing tall? Impossible! Something is definitely wrong,” he thought, filled with questions.
